Ferry Shuttles

In Cape May

The Cape May shuttle is an excursion shuttle that can be booked as part of a round-trip ferry passage from Lewes. The shuttle travels a single route between the Cape May Terminal and the Cape May Welcome Center at 609 Lafayette Street; there are no other stops.

The Shuttle will take passengers with return tickets to the Cape May Welcome Center in Downtown Cape May, and then pick them up at the same location to return to the Cape May Terminal.

Shuttle drivers will provide a schedule for returning passengers, with the final departure from the Welcome Center at 5:00 p.m. for the 6:00 p.m. sailing to Lewes.

It is the passenger’s responsibility to be at the Cape May Welcome Center on time for the shuttle pickup.
